Death Guns In Another World

No matter what, no one would stop them from accomplishing their goal.

Sven, who was wondering how long he would have to wait, suddenly received a message,

[I have reached the first target. Begin the operation.]

A maniacal grin split his face at this very moment.

At the same moment, the same maniacal grin could be seen on the face of a servant in the mayor's mansion.

°°°°°°

Angus's mansion.

The party continued after the little episode, people approached Alex, trying to exchange a few words with him, most of them were curious about the outside world after choosing to live here years went by, so they weren't well informed. Alex did entertain them but without going into the details.

Incursio disappeared, mixing with some noble ladies, this happened because the moment they entered Alex felt something wasn't right so he asked to lay low as something could happen, to blend in.

Not even the mayor's son, the eldest, the one who put a contract on his father's head felt the ominous atmosphere around him. The mayor excused himself, saying he had something urgent to do.

Alex simply looked at him for a moment before switching to watching the people dancing around him.

The ball was surprisingly interesting. Alex whose life usually revolved around dungeons, and world travel had to admit that this fairytale-like environment was something to be enjoyed.

Still, even though he was surrounded by a sea of beauties who kept smiling at him, if he had to be perfectly honest, he couldn't help but feel empty.

'So many facades.'

Those smiles, those laughs, those words of appreciation; everything was nothing more than lies and artifice.

This made what was supposed to be an enjoyable moment, nothing more than a chore to be done with as soon as possible. What's more, he couldn't wait to see what the mayor planned for organizing this party.

'Patience, it will become fun soon.' He told him to stop himself from yawning.

•••

The mayor after leaving the ballroom went to the higher floor, he was standing in the upper room as he observed the noble dancing and cozying up with Alex. Incursio was chatting and laughing with the noble ladies as if they have been long-time friends.

''She is indeed beautiful, it's a shame, though, she'll die.'' The mayor mumbled.

It was then that a servant opened the door and entered boldly without introducing himself.

The mayor didn't even bother turning around as he spoke, "What brings you now? And when did you kill this servant?"

"Haha! Killing is such a big word. Let's just say that I graced him with a new beginning. Now then, let's not focus on useless things, and let's talk about the important matter… It's time to begin.."

The mayor narrowed his eyes and turned to face his servant, or rather, the puppets that were now controlled by the necromancer.

He idly wondered how many of his servants were already dead. Not that it particularly mattered. After this night, he would get what he desired the most.

"Why now?"

"Nothing much," The puppet shrugged as he continued, "My boss is getting cranky. What's more, you are more or less ready, right? So let's accelerate."

He nodded, he was indeed basically ready. "Just let me ask you once again, this man is that powerful and we need all these preparations?"

The servant chuckled before answering, "Of course, he is strong, at least a little bit stronger than you, you can't beat him without any preparation, but you don't have to worry as our plans will work perfectly fine. You just have to carry out the orders as ordered.''

''I see, for the sake of my goals I'll listen to you for now, but don't think I'm a fool, don't play with me or else-"

"Kuh! Kuh! Kuh! Calm down Gramps, no need to overact.''

The mayor harrumphed upon being called a gramps, but the servant, no the puppet in front of him chuckled before asking.

''Why all those questions? Do you wish to give up now?"

"Give up? No, in reality, the result itself does not matter in my eyes."

Saying so, he turned around and once again looked at all the nobles gathered in the hall.

Since the mayor was extremely influential and the invitee of honor was the outsiders, all the big shots present were people extremely important in the city.

It wasn't a mistake to say that if anything happened to any of the people present here, the city's losses would be immeasurable.

Just thinking of this, Sven, who was watching the mayor through his puppet, felt his non-existent heart pounding in his ribs.

'Hahaha! Soon, this city will be destroyed. We will be the team that succeeded where the once mighty number 1 failed. Hahahaha! Chaos forever!!!.'

''It is started.'' Angus declared before starting to go downstairs.

The puppet controlled by Sven also disappeared, he had to distract the white-haired woman who for some reason looked like someone he had heard of.

°°°°°°

After drinking multiple cocktails, Alex was now dancing with a woman. He was dancing with a red-haired pale woman, he couldn't help but feel a little distracted, his mind wavering as he felt more and more that something was wrong.

'Something is wrong.'

"Sir Alexander? You are hurting me you know."

Alex's mind was brought back when he heard a soft gasp. Looking at the slowly reddening hands in his, he let out a low exclamation of surprise and apologized,

"I am sorry, I was a little distracted."

The woman let out a strained laugh as she answered, "I do not know what hurt more now. My hands, which were on the verge of being crushed, or my ego, after hearing that you were distracted even while dancing with me. Maybe I'm not beautiful enough. Well, it's the truth that compared to your partner I'm a little lacking."

Upon this Alex let out a short laugh, at this and apologized once again, but even while doing so, he couldn't help but look at the woman dancing with him.

He hadn't been paying attention since she was already his third dancing partner after Incursio but she was a beautiful woman.

Her long red robe clung tightly to her voluptuous body and showed a deep cleavage without leaving much to the imagination.

Even though she wasn't some ethereal beauty like Maria or Luna, nor did she have a very sensual beauty like Sakuya or Artemia, for some weird reason, it was as if she was hitting all his likes at the same time.

But more than anything, her beautiful black hair and ruby-red eyes were particularly eyes catching.

'No matter how distracted I am, how come I have not noticed this?' Alex made a such face.

He frowned a little bit, before tightening his hand involuntarily before he let out a low growl,

"You…!"

"Oh? Finally, remarked? Well, I guess you aren't the Black Prince for nothing."

Alex immediately began to look around him. The moment he did so, as if on cue, the music stopped, and everyone immediately stopped dancing before focusing on him.

Even though none of those staring at him was a match for him, Alex had to admit that being looked at in such a way by so many people brought him a chill.

"Who are you?"

Letting go of his hand, the woman took a few steps back, and gave an elegant curtsey as she introduced herself, "My real name had long been forgotten, now though, I go by the name, Demis, a vampire and… One of the Numbers from the Chaos Organization.''

''Well, I'm a demon who had a certain grudge against you as you killed my other half, Duke Priscilla.''

Alex's eyes became cold at this. He didn't understand why he hadn't been able to feel a vampire so close to him, but now wasn't the time to worry about this.

Just as he was about to pounce on her when Demis raised a finger and smiled mischievously,

"From the information gathered I learned a little bit about you. You're both long-range and a melee fighter, and I must admit that fighting you head-on would be quite a pain. So, I came up with a solution. As such, before you do anything you might regret, let me remind you that basically everyone in this room is under my control."

He opened his eyes wide in disbelief. He had already understood this after the earlier chilling display.

'How was it even possible? Even though I had felt a threat, the source was still a little far from it.'

He couldn't understand how she had managed such a feat right under his nose.

'Those must be his thoughts judging by his face's reactions.' Demis mumbled inwardly.

"Hohohoho! Sir Alexander, it seems like you do not believe me. Then how about this?''

''Let's see, you two on the back...This queen orders you to die."

"By your will!"

Alex did not even have the time to react. By the time he could do anything his vision was dyed red. In an, instant it has turned into a bloody party.

Demis chuckled seeing Alex's head lowered. The first step of their plan succeeded so she thought.
